That’s real love!It happened that PBS included and repeat several programs that shows the reality of Mexico without stereotypes such as “Hollywood’s style” (Style established by commercial TV networks, which denigrate the richest and greatness of an amazing country as it is Mexico and the Mexicans.)
In “The Royal Tour” by Peter Greenberg,PBS showcases a visit of Mexico guided for the first time by current president of the country Felipe Calderon,in the most refreshing way than ever.

Mr. Calderon was wise enough to start the tour clarifying the real situation about the violence that has been damaging the image of the country and how in his “drug’s war” successfully haunted 20 of the 37 most wanted drug’s leaders. Unexpected “The Royal Tour” is the first documental in which TV-cameras have access to Mexican Intelligence’s operations center, where high-end technology has been using during the fight of the drug’s gang and President Calderon doesn’t hesitate to get the opportunity to explain the huge responsibility in the consumption of drugs and the illegal traffic of weapon USA has been providing to the drug cartels in Mexico.
